--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Player Introductions

Feast

[image loading]

Name: Jérémy Vansnick
Game ID: MǂFeast
Race: Protoss
Age: 18
Nationality: Belgian
Largest Achievement: 5th-8th IEM Kiev

Feast has always been a good competitor online winning quite a few online trophies but is pretty much a newcomer to the shining spotlight of an offline stage. After his amazing run through IEM Kiev where he managed to topple LiquidHero in the group stage proving his worth, he even managed to snipe a map away from MMA but unfortunately the overall champion came back to win 3-1. Remember he is only 18years old with not that much high level experience, most definitely a Protoss to keep track off throughout 2012. You could say still an underdog within this tournament but anything is possible for this youngster.

BratOK

[image loading]

Name: Pavel Kuznetsov
Game ID: ImbaFXO.BratOK
Race: Terran
Age: 25
Nationality: Russian
Largest Achievement: 4th Assembly Summer 2011

Pavel has always been one of the strongest Terrans in the foreign scene since Starcraft: Brood War. His doesn't really compete at that many tournaments so gets very little spot light and camera time which leads some people to discredit his actual skill level. Finishing 4th at Assembly and taking a game from Nestea and beating Loner at Blizzcon 2011 displaying good results once actually at events. He is a very macro focused Terran but delivers a mean punch of aggression in his play which makes him a very dangerous player and able to beat any player when in shape. A strong competitor for sure here.

BlinG

[image loading]

Name: Samayan Kay
Game ID: DignitasBlinG
Race: Protoss
Age: 20
Nationality: English
Largest Achievement: Top 8 WCG 2011

Team Dignitas representative once again for this invitational enters the ring. Samayan 'BlinG' Kay, every day gains more and more fans especially after coming off a strong Assembly performance where he lands another impressive group stage run of 3-0 including a 2-0 victory over TSLPolt. BlinG just recently returned from living in France within the Millenium team house and has worked extremely hard on his game, his vs Z is so fierce now to compliment his ever so strong game vs Terran, well why wouldn't it be after living with Stephano for months. He has gone from entering tournaments as a complete underdog to actually a strong competitor, representing Protoss and arguably the United Kingdoms num1 player, please welcome Bling!!

Slivko

[image loading]

Name: Artem Garavtsov
Game ID: RoXKis.Slivko
Race: Zerg
Age: 22
Nationality: Russian
Largest Achievement: 2nd Grubby Pro Invite

Slivko, not so known in the international scene but has started to put down some decent results managing to qualify for the MLG Winter Arena and before that competiting well in the IEM Sao Paulo event finally losing vs Supernova but managing to make it a close one 2-3. He is a very dangerous Zerg player who if untouched in game can easily turn on the heat and pull off amazing wins and on the other hand actually lands some pretty early pressure himself. I feel giving him the opportuntiy to shine here will prove to be a great achivement if he can lock down an impressive win. Another underdog going into this but a scary one for sure.

Cloud

[image loading]

Name: Carlo Giannacco
Game ID: aTn.Cloud
Race: Terran
Age: 24
Nationality: Italian
Largest Achievement: [image loading]2nd UGS 2011

Cloud most notable for his rivalry against Goody or maybe, known for/as 'The Cookie Monster', does anybody still call him this? A very all around Terran player truly capable of picking up a decent tournament victory if he could string results together. A little bit inconsistent with his practice and results but on a good day, he can beat anybody, Thorzain victory at ESWC and taking a map away from MC at HSC4 are good examples. I think Cloud deserves a spot in this tournament as he has been Italys num1 player for both SC1 and SC2 for about 7-8years now, pretty impressive! Wish Cloud the best!

Stephano

[image loading]

Name: Ilyes Satouri
Game ID: Millenium.Stephano
Race: Zerg
Age: 18
Nationality: French
Largest Achievement: [image loading]1st IPL3 2011

Please, welcome back the SCAN 2x Invitational champion here looking for his 3rd. Stephano widely know considered the best non Korean Starcraft2 player in the world, I have asked many Koreans who they think is the best and the answer echoes. He seems simply unbeatable and untouchable in the foreign scene and only Code S level Koreans are capable of stopping his path of destruction. The pioneer of Zerg play, welcome the IPL3/ESWC Champion!!

Diestar

[image loading]

Name: Marcin Wieczoerk
Game ID: Millenium.Diestar
Race: Terran
Age: 20
Nationality: Polish
Largest Achievement: [image loading]1st EPS Poland

Here is Diestar, a regular face in the online scene since forever and now slowly making regular appearances offline most recently Assembly Winter 2012 where he managed to secure a victory over Evil Genius JYP! With more experience Diestar could become a consistent face on stage. Diestar plays a very aggressive style which could catch unexpected victims in this tournament, he uses medivacs and good unit control to keep the opponent under constant pressure, while focusing around nailing upgrade timings. Diestar, possibly the least expected to compete well here but we will see on Sunday whether or not he will surprise you.

Grubby

[image loading]

Name: Manuel Schenkhuizen
Game ID: Grubby
Race: Protoss
Age: 25
Nationality: Dutch
Largest Achievement: [image loading]4th ESWC 2011

The peoples Champ enters the tournament, who doesn't like Grubby? His legendary WC3 past and now is rising SC2 skill, he slowly is becoming one of the best Protoss players out there as his hard work and determination is 2nd to none. I feel the only player in this tournament once again that can stomp out Grubby would be his arch nemesis Stephano, other than that, Grubby is a clear favourite to take the entire tournament. Get behind Grubby and show him your support as he carries your hope for a victory.
